Another No Hitter

[Rex54]

The hitting approach that players are using right now is what is making MLB unwatchable. I wonder why it was more watchable doing it my way?

But yeah- keep making strawmen instead of staying on point. The point was obvious to people who aren't stupid. You imitate how the best of the best do things. And then each individual player achieves their personal best. They won't all be Babe Ruth. But they sure as hell won't be hitting .210 with 20 home runs and 200 K's either.
Another big problem with baseball is stupid people like you telling people that know baseball how it should be played.

It was more watchable back in the day because there weren't shifts, there wasn't the high average velocities, and there wasn't the focus on spin rates. Thank you for making my point!

In order to produce max runs IN TODAY'S ENVIRONMENT you are forced to sell out for walks and the home run. Again, scoring is UP big since a decade ago. Runs are being scored. The problem is NOT a lack of runs. The problem is how runs are forced to be scored because of the insane pitcher ability and defensive shifts. It's too hard to consistently score runs getting singles because the velocity and spin rates are out of control. You HAVE A BETTER CHANCE of winning saying "**** it" and catching a couple long balls.

Again - your argument is falling back on it being their ego or some nonsensical shit. What I'm doing is explaining the "why" all of the million dollar players and GM's and organizations are doing this approach. Trust me, it's not an ego thing. It's a "here's how we can best score runs against the league pitching" thing. If you fix the incentives towards balls in play being rewarded more and lead to better outcomes, that is the approach that will be taught/executed.
